I got to know Glenn this year while teaching at the STEAM Academy where he was our absolutely favorite bus driver. He was always so kind, loved to tell stories and jokes, and and made the early morning bus rides so much more enjoyable! Everyone at STEAM as well as all the students that Glenn helped serve will miss him so much. Thoughts and prayers for his family. I feel lucky to have known him.
Glenn was a great man. I loved seeing and talking to him on Sundays. We talked about God, family and motorcycles. He loved my boys, Jace and Karter, and they in turn loved him. He would give them candy during the service and their eyes would just light up. A lot of the time on Sundays, that's how we got the boys to go to church, was to tell them we were going to see Glenn. I was very fortunate to have gotten to know him over the years. He will be truly missed. Prayers for the family.
